The New York Times provided questions to former President Bill Clinton before an interview with Nicholas Kristoff, the Wikileaks release of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta emails has revealed.

In an email
sent to Podesta and several others, the Clinton Foundation’s Director
of Foreign Policy Ami Desai requests feedback on answers to “questions
they sent that are related to international issues”:

[A]s you may know, WJC is doing Q+A with Nick Kristof on
Wednesday (at the Foursquare Conference). It’s supposed to be closed
press, but. Below are the questions they sent that are related to
international issues – namely Israelis/Palestinians, China
(trade/Tibet/Taiwan), and Greece/Euro. Are there any WJC Admin
accomplishments that we should equip him to be able to highlight? [I put
some initial ideas in CAPS below; and we also have requested input from
the State Department.] We’d welcome any feedback by Sunday. Thanks, Ami

A quick review of recent columns
by Kristof reveals a lot of Clinton water-carrying with headlines like
“Donald Trump, Groper in Chief” and “How to Cover a Charlatan Like
Trump” and “When a Crackpot Run For President” where he makes the case
that “journalistic efforts at fairness may risk normalizing Donald
Trump.”

In the email, Desai reveals four questions on international issues
that Kristof planned to ask Clinton. The first question is framed by
crediting Clinton with coming within a “whisker from a Middle East peace
deal.” Three of the questions are followed by proposed answers in all
CAPS from the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary Clinton ended up helping Donald Trump repair some of the damage from his lewd comments about women this weekend when she ran hard left on the Supreme Court — reinforcing the one overriding reason conservative Republicans have for voting for their flawed presidential nominee.

Her promise to use Supreme Court nominations to push a left-wing agenda did more than anything Mr. Trump
said during the debate to win back his supporters, conservative leaders
said Wednesday.

That included evangelical voters who were repulsed by a
2005 videotape that surfaced over the weekend showing the Republican
nominee using vulgar language to boast of his sexual exploits.

“I
believe it justifies overriding other concerns like those generated by
this tape,” said the Rev. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for
Life.

“Virtue exercised in our
own personal choices is important, but policies contain or contradict
virtues as well, and there is a corruption in our public policy right
now,” he said. “So it is not only that it outweighs the personal
failing, of which of course he is repudiated himself and is repenting
of, but corruption and immoral outrageous are also incarnated in public
policies.”

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg shared research
with key members of the Clinton campaign, newly released emails show.

Sandberg has endorsed Clinton, and just last month Politico reported
that Clinton may tap Sandberg for Treasury secretary if elected.

Clinton aide Cheryl Mills set up a meeting in March, 2015 for
Sandberg to share research with members of Hillary Clinton’s inner
circle, including chief campaign strategist Joel Benenson and campaign
manager John Podesta.

At the meeting, which took place a month before Clinton formally
announced her candidacy for president, Sandberg shared research on
“gender and leadership by women.”

Fine, as I have said many times before, we don't care if this election dooms the Republican Party. If Trump wins, we will transform the existing one, if not, we will never vote for a Republican again and start a 3rd party. The Neocons have bought it upon themselves, good riddance to bad rubbish. The Neocons better hope Trump wins.

Jerry Falwell Jr. told WABC
Radio host Rita Cosby he has evidence that GOP establishment insiders
leaked the now infamous “Trump tape” in a pre-arranged move to sabotage
the Republican candidate’s campaign.

The
tape, which emerged two days before Sunday night’s presidential debate,
featured Trump making crude comments about women and was seized upon by
some establishment Republicans as a reason to withdraw their lukewarm
support for the Donald.

“I think
this whole tape… video tape thing was planned, I think it was timed, I
think it might have even been a conspiracy among establishment
Republicans who have known about it for weeks and who tried to time it
to do the maximum damage to Donald Trump, and I just… I just think it
just backfired on them,” said Falwell, son of the famous evangelical
pastor.

Before
the rise of modern industry… virtually the whole of humankind lived in
family-centered economies. The family was the locus of the most
productive activity, whether it be on largely self-sufficient farms or
in small family shops… Husbands and wives relied on each other, shared
with each other, so their small family enterprises might succeed. They
specialized in their daily tasks, according to their respective skills.
Marriage was still true to its historic definition: a union of the
sexual and the economic.

InMy Previous Blog PostI wrote about the family economy and posted Returning To The Family Economy,a
chapter from a book I wrote in 2005. My premise is, as the title of
this essay states, that a family economy is the biblical imperative. An
“imperative” is an essential or urgent thing.

I happen to think that how and where we live our lives and raise our
families can make an enormous difference in how strong and vibrant our
families will be. That seems like a self-evident statement. What might
not be self-evident is that God’s ideal plan for families is for them to
live on a section of productive land, and to establish family
economies.

I’m sure that a lot of Christians will disagree with that last
sentence. That’s because, for one thing, so few modern Christians live
that way. Besides that, I don’t suppose anyone has ever heard a sermon
preached on the biblical imperative of establishing family economies on
the land. Pretty much nobody is talking about this. It’s virtually
unheard of. There is a much larger focus in the modern evangelical
church on “cheap grace,” not multi-generational obedience to biblical imperatives.

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time in history that a biblical imperative was lost and unknown to God’s people.

The
Clinton media spin machine is in overdrive trying to create the public
impression that the 2016 Presidential race is a dead heat between
businessman and Republican Nominee Donald Trump and criminal career
politician Hillary (Bill) Clinton. But all of the visible indicators
tell a very different story.

The
election is mired in scandals, some quite real, some manufactured
by the pro-Clinton media spin machine…

On
Trumps side, he faces accusations of…

•
colorful language in private conversations concerning women• hiding his personal tax returns• being anti-immigrant• being a business bully• having no prior political experience

Civil War cannonballs surfaced on the Lowcountry coast Sunday morning after Hurricane Matthew's trek through South Carolina.

Charleston
County Sheriff's Office officials said their bomb squad and the US Air
Force Explosive Team responded to Folly Beach to evaluate the discovery
of what appeared to be an "old Civil War ordnance."

Authorities
announced Sunday night that a number of the cannonballs were detonated
by the Air Force and a small amount of them would be transported to the
Naval Base.

There
is nothing worse than being cut off from your family. But as we move
further and further apart from each other, and rely more and more on a
single technology to even speak, the chances of being cut off have
become overwhelmingly probable. That is why I have contributed several
articles, and now some video, on off-grid long distance communications.
This is a not a simple or terribly inexpensive topic, but it is more
possible than you would think to speak to someone across the country
(and sometimes across the world) using a small radio from your home.

Some have expressed concern that Bill Clinton might be back in the White House, this time as the first gentleman.

But as worried as they might be, at least Bill isn't a supporter of
Shariah law. We wonder if we can say the same thing about the person who
will be one of Hillary's chief, if not top, advisor.

Huma Abedin has been called Hillary's "shadow" by Politico. Hillary
has said if she had a second daughter, it would be Abedin. She has been
with the Democratic presidential candidate since 1996, when Hillary was
first lady.

Abedin has followed Clinton through her years as a U.S. senator from
New York and was by her side when Hillary was wrecking America's foreign
relations and making a mess in the Middle East as secretary of state.
While deputy chief of staff to Clinton at State, Abedin also worked for
the Clinton Foundation and Teneo, a consulting firm that does business
with international business titans.

Speaker Paul Ryan told House Republicans on a conference call Monday
morning he is done defending Donald Trump and will focus on keeping an
increasingly imperiled House majority, according to sources on the call.

Ryan added that if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, a Republican Congress is needed to be a check on her. (What a joke as they'll cave just as they have for the last 8 years.)

The speaker, however, did not formally revoke his endorsement of Trump.

Ryan told members, “You all need to do what’s best for you in your
district," said a source on the call, giving his members the political
cover to disavow Trump if they feel they need to do so.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
